"The Voyage of the Star Wolf" is the first in the series, and was intended as a concept for a TV series. It has many 'echoes' of Star Trek (unnamed Tribbles make an appearance, there's a Morthan crew-member who has great similarities to Klingons and Worf, the on-board doctor, while female, shares grumpy similarity with Bones, 'Wesley' is listed as one of the crew members brutally killed at one point, there's even a sly reference to an 'enterprise' at one point that can be taken in two different ways. Gerrold was, of course, the writer for "The Trouble With Tribbles" episode of the original series. (And the Chtorr themselves are mentioned once.) The computer on the ship is called HARLIE, which is, of course, linked to his earlier novel "When HARLIE Was One."
